What is Horio Taverna? Occupying 516 Danforth Avenue in Greektown, Horio Taverna is a family-run dining room grounded in the spirit and warmth of Greek village cooking. Run by seasoned restaurateurs who grew up around family-owned kitchens in Greece, the room features warm lighting, rustic accents, and comfortable dining tables designed for shared meals. The concept deliberately steps away from modernized shortcut cooking in favour of generational scratch recipes.

Horio Taverna Menu & What to Order The kitchen shines brightest on homestyle *magirefta* (comfort baked dishes), particularly the rich, custard-topped moussaka and pastitsio layered with slow-simmered spiced ground beef. Begin with flaky tiropitakia baked fresh to order alongside housemade tirokafteri and smoky melitzanosalata with warm pita. For grilled mains, the charbroiled chicken souvlaki dinner with oregano-dusted lemon potatoes is a reliable staple, paired best with a crisp Greek white wine.

Know Before You Go Reservations can be booked directly via phone or email for peak Friday and Saturday evenings, while weeknight dinners and daytime lunch services easily accommodate walk-ins. The taverna is located midway between Chester and Pape subway stations on Line 2, with several Green P parking lots situated off Danforth Avenue. Horio Taverna operates seven days a week, serving continuously from 11:00 a.m. through the evening.
